Artist's Biography:
From his earliest childhood, Ron says he appropriated anything that he could use to make pictures. He is largely self-taught, focusing his artistic gifts on translating the complexity that he sees in nature and the world around him. One will be immediately struck by the artist’s use of detail, detail that defines this “complexity” that the artist observes and conveys to the viewer. Currently living in Flint, Ron has exhibited in many shows both individually and as a member of “Flint Artists Market.” He also has paintings in business and private collections locally, nationally and internationally.
